The Mamma of Old.

Mr.. Cole OF Bitlis, a missionary OF
the American board in eastern Tur-
key, in describ ing iourneyfrom Har-
poot to Bitlis, says;
We travelled for four days through a
region where had newly fallen a re-
markable deposit OF heavenly bread,
as the natives sometimes call it
mamma. There were extensive forests
Of scrubby oaks, and most OF the de-
post was on the leaves. Thousands
OF poor peasants, men, women and
children, were out upon the plains
gathering the sweet substance. Some
OF them plunge into kettles OF boiling
water the newly-cut branches OF the
oaks, which washes off the deposit un.
til the water becomes so sweet as to
remind the Yankee of q veritable STU
caring of IN the old Granite state as
he lakes sips OF it. Other companies
OF natives may be seen vigorously
beating with sticks The branches, that
from having been spread on the
ground have SO dried that the glisten-
ing crystals fall readily upon the car
pet spread to receive them. The crys.
tails are sep arated from the pieces OF
leaves by sieve, and then the man.
ma is pressed into cakes for use. The
mama is in great demand among
these oriental Christians. AS we we're
travelling through rather dry region
the article came in play for our plain
repasts.

The Boston Woman Remains
at Home.

Boston woman wrote to the
mayor of new town in Wyoming
asking for information regarding the
state OF society in his town, as she
contemplated going there for the bene-
fit OF the health OF her children. On
receiving his reply she concluded to
remain in Boston a while longer. The
mayor wrote:
As for society, it is bang up. This
is nifty morrel town, considerin'
that there's sixty mine saloons to a
population OF 1000. But every
saloon has sine up sayin': "All
fitin' must be done outside. No KILN
Allowed in this Room" Only two
men has been killed since Monday, and
tc-morrer will be Wensday. Cheat
ing at gambling is punished by
lynchin', and every effort is being
made to put the town on good NOR
rel baysis. Ladies is universally re-
spected, and / sell them beer at hall
price when they buy at my place.
There is a grand sacred concert and
free dance here every Sunday night.
and preachin' every Sunday that the
pastor don't have ter stay ter home
on account of the big rush ct his bow
ling ally. Don't hezEytate about
COMM here on ackount OF sswoisty.

Children, do you ever, 81.

Naught OF doubt and blighti
Heaven is just above her
ALI her thoughts are white.
Long time since | lost her,
That other Me OF mine;
She crossed into Times shadow
Out OF Youths sunshine.
Now the darkness keeps her; ~
And call her as / will,
The years that lie between US
Hide her from me still.

And lonely as can be

Burglary at the Depot.

Last Saturday noon while Station
Agent Decker was absent at dinner the
depot was entered and $35 stolen from
the money drawer. Considerable ex-
element prevailed in town when it be-
came known. kilograms were sent in
every direction and the sheriff started
out to look for signs. Charlie Bennett
came in from the country and heard of
the ROBBERY about 3 o'clock. He went
to work on the case and in about an
hour had run down tramp who
proved 10 be the wrong man. When
Vic Bartlett came In with the Potosi
stage and was Intercepted by Bennett,
he remembered that the day before
he had brought stranger to town
whom he found sitting beside the road
this side of Rockville, and who asked
him for ride. Not having any pas
sengers he gave tho fellow ride to
Lancaster. He chose to alight in the
edge of town, saying that he had no
money and must beg some supper. AS
it seemed evident that he had never
been in these parts before. it was likely
that if he were the burglar he would re-
turn by the only road he knew. So
after dark Bennett and Bartlett started
out together for Pstosi, and they got
their man about two o'clock in the
morning. He had S33 when arrested.
He owned up to the robbery at once.
Said he entered the ticket Office through
an open window and pried open the
money drawer with a file. After the
job was done he went down to the Lau-
caster House and took dinner, when
hearing considerable talk about the
burglary he thought he would eight
out" He lay in the grove back of the
Eaton place till dark and then started
for Potosi. AS Bennett had no war
rant he could do nothing but hold his
prisoner till Monday morning, when he
was brought before Justice Baldwin,
pleaded guilty to the charge of burg
larry and was committed to jail He
will make application to go before the
County Judge. plead guilty and take
his sentence.
He is solid chunk OF fellow, IS or
20 years old and evidently of Hibernian
stock. He gives his name as Billy Ed
wards, of Minnesota. This is probably
an alias. The fellow has evidently had
some previous experience and further
Developments may be looked for.

The New School House.

The building committee appointed at
the school meeting last week, acting in
conjunction with the School Board, have
bought a lot of j. +. Barnett nearly OPP
posite the school house upon which to
erect the new building. The lot is about
ITO feet square. The plan they have
under consideration is a one story frame
building 60x36. 1t viii cost $500.
This with the price of the lot ($275)
exceeds the appropriation 1915. The
seating and furnishing will probably
require about all they can draw from
the incidental fund, so that about
$500 more will be needed. 1t was the
sense of the meeting, however, that
$4,000 should be appropriated. Such a
sum was voted, in fact. 1t was only a
misunderstanding that caused the 81 800
proposition to be made. The chair did
not announce the vote on the $1,000
proposition as carried, and Judge Glenn
enston did not understand the vote as
announced-31 for, and &c against.
There is no doubt of the willingness of
the district to do what in the end will be
the best-to put up such a building as
is required,

paper published at Mount Sterling, near

Morehead:
A stray copy of that UNANIMOUSLY dirty
sheet. the Covington Republican, found
its way to Mt. Sterling, and our atten-
ton was called to the following item:
The Tolliyer-Cole. Taylor Young outlaws Of
Rowan county have notified come OF tho suh-
scribers to the Republican that they must dis
continue their subscription 10 our paper Ifthat
band OF desPersdoes are going to stop the publ
cation Of all the papers that refuse to tolerate
their murderous designs. there will be only one
left In the state Of Kentucky. That one win be
the MI Sterling acknowledgements.
This reference to the Sentinel. Demo-
crat is slanderous lie, with big l.,
and the writer knew it was lie when
he wrote it. This paper has never
favored outlaws or ''desperadoes''
in Rowan or elsewhere. We have
never been an apologist even for Craig
Tolliver, but he is a better man than
the writer of that paragraph in the Re-
publican. Judge Cole and TAYLOR
Young are not outlaws or desperadoes
in any sense. They are gentlemen of
character and standing, whose shoes
the Republican Is not worthy to unite.
But why this attack on the Sentinel
Democrat without any provocation?
The Republican is hard up for a quarrel
and perhaps it wants to fight.
That is not our business, and we hope
the pugnacious Republican will return
to Rowan and fight it out with the
lovely (?) gang" with which it is
identified.

Golden opinions from all sorts Of
people, miss Willard won in Lancas-
ter. The supreme testimonies is that
our best and ablest men admit that her
arguments are sound. Especial credit
given her handling the high license argu-
ment. The only criticism have heard
was, 'She was too easy on the saloon
keeper"
Still she left the majority of them
answerable for murder. with no excuse
but ignorance. Ignorance in this coun-
try now, excuses no man Of sin, because
by right endeavor he may Danish
ignorance.

MINING AT SMELsER. Prof. j M.
Quick, for the past five years Principal
of the graded school at Cuba City, was
in town yesterday. He informs us that
a number of Eastern capitalists, who
formed q company with headquarters at
Shullsburg about two years ago has
lately purchased a number of tracts OF
land in that section. At Buzzard Roost
they have purchased of r. A. Wilson &
Co. $40 acres. On Monday they bought
of C. q. Jones a 100 acre tract for
which they paid $500. They have
also purchased 100 arces of land of John
Burns, Smelser township, paying him
$50, 900 for it. The Burns property is
considered by old miners in that locality
to be first-class, rs there are three
ranges of mineral on it in sight. Only
one of these ranges has been penetrated,
aud SO far over million pounds of lead
ore have been taken from it and the
end nor the bottom of the lode not yet
struck. The company will sink shaft
$50 feet deep on the Burns place and put
in steam pump that will drain all the
surrounding country, fo- they have pur-
chased all the mineral lands adjoining
the Burns place. The company has
purchased about thirty-fve valuable
mineral tracts lying between Fairplay
and Shullsburg. Grant County has
great undeveloped mineral resources
and we are glad to see these vigorous
preparations going forward at Smolser.
